Announcement from Blogger Dashboard

The following has appeared at the top of my Blogger Dashboard over the last few days. As I'm not really techno-savvy it means nothing to me, but I publish it to let you all know it is there.

"Coming in late April! All visitors will be able to view your Blogspot domain blogs over an encrypted connection by visiting https://<your-blog>.blogspot.com. Existing links and bookmarks to your blogs will continue to work. As part of this change, the HTTPS Availability setting will disappear, and your blogs will always have an HTTPS version.

I hope you all know what it is talking about, as I haven't a clue.

We have just been enjoying the first good Sunday in a while, and I've been out in the shed track laying on the new model railway. Soon have a full circuit all powered ready to run the inaugural train. The aim is full track by the end of summer, then I can build the structures indoors over the winter. The population is already coming along. These are Charles Stadden 7mm figures. Older readers may remember his fathers range of military figures.

      You don't really want to see a photo of the disorganised chaos that is currently my model railway. Perhaps later in the year I may show some progress.

    I'm not sure, but I am guessing Blogspot is a secure site now by default ..... A good thing I am guessing

    Dear Joppy,

    Engage Technobabbletranslator: This is mostly for the benefit of commercial sites that ask the user (buyer) to send personal details, such as credit card details, to their website. It's a good thing :-)

    "HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is an internet communication protocol that protects the integrity and confidentiality of your users' data between the user's computer and the site. For example, when a user enters data into a form on your site in order to subscribe to updates or purchase a product, HTTPS protects that user's personal information between the user and the site."

    Quoted from [https://support.google.com/blogger/answer/6284029?hl=en]

    Regards Chris

    Look forward to seeing your Model Railway Joppy- if it is in 7mm/ft scale - I'm thinking that you may be doing O-16.5 Narrow Gauge...which IS very nice indeed. Regards. KEV.
